 ## Overview
 
-Vieter has a few main features:
+Vieter consists of two main parts:
 
-* It's a simple & lightweight implementation of an Arch repository server
-* It allows for uploading of built package archives
-* It supports a basic build system to periodically re-build packages & upload
-  them to the server
+* A lightweight implementation of an Arch repository, including routes for
+  uploading built package archives.
+* A cron daemon implementation designed to periodically rebuild a given list of
+  packages, given a Git repository containing their PKGBUILD.

 ### Server
 
-* `log_level`: defines how much logs to show. Valid values are one of `FATAL`,
-  `ERROR`, `WARN`, `INFO` or `DEBUG`. Defaults to `WARN`
-* `log_file`: log file to write logs to. Defaults to `vieter.log` in the
-  current directory.
+* `log_level`: Which levels of logs to show. Valid values are one of `FATAL`,
+  `ERROR`, `WARN`, `INFO` or `DEBUG`. Defaults to `WARN`.
 * `pkg_dir`:  where Vieter should store the actual package archives.
 * `data_dir`: where Vieter stores the repositories, log file & database.
 * `api_key`: the API key to use when authenticating requests.
-* `default_arch`: architecture to always add packages of arch `any` to.
-
-### Builder
-
-* `api_key`: the API key to use when authenticating requests.
-* `address`: Base your URL of your Vieter instance, e.g. https://example.com
-* `base_image`: image to use when building a package. It should be an Archlinux
-  image. The default if not configured is `archlinux:base-devel`, but this
-  image only supports arm64. If you require aarch64 support as well, consider
-  using

+      a repository, it'll be added to this architecture.
+    * A Git repository added using the API or CLI that doesn't specify an
+      architecture will use this value as their default.

+However, because V evolves so rapidly it is possible that Vieter temporarily

+# Usage
+
+Vieter is distributed as a swiss army knife-style binary, meaning all of its
+components are compiled into a single binary. These various components can then
+be used by passing the correct CLI arguments to the binary.
+
+Each of these components requires some configuration variables, a thorough
+explanation of this can be found over at the [Configuration](/configuration)
+page.

+## Components
+
+Currently, the binary consists of the following components:

+* [Server](server)
+* [Cron](cron)

+The server is the implementation of the repository.

+```sh

+```
+
+starts the HTTP server. Its endpoints are listed [here](/api).
+
+## Multiple repositories
+
+Vieter can contain multiple repositories, each of which is further divided into
+various architectures.
+
+A repository is created once a package archive is published to it using [this
+route](/api#post-repopublish):
+
+```sh
+curl -XPOST -H "X-API-KEY: your-key" -T some-package.pkg.tar.zst https://example.com/somerepo/publish
+```
+
+This repository can then be added to Pacman as
+described below.
+
+## Pacman
+
+A Vieter repository can be added to Pacman like any other repository. In your
+`/etc/pacman.conf` file, add the following lines:
+
+```
+[vieter]
+Server = https://example.com/$repo/$arch
+SigLevel = Optional
+```
+
+Here, you see two important placeholder variables which get replaced by Pacman
+when reading the file. `$repo` is replaced by the name within the square
+brackets, which in this case would be `vieter`. `$arch` is replaced by the
+output of `uname -m`. Because Vieter supports multiple repositories &
+architectures per repository, using this notation makes sure you always use the
+correct endpoint for fetching files.
+
+I recommend placing this below all other repository entries, as the order
+decides which repository gets used if there's ever a naming conflict.
